bluerooster Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I purchased a blade many years ago from a bladesmith in Henrietta Tx. It was sold to me as being Damascus. When I got it, it was not smooth at all, but rough textured. Almost as if the softer steel was eaten away by the etch, leaving only the hard steel. What I see in photographs seems to be smooth and only different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Actually the lower carbon steel etches more deeply so I'm not sure what the lighter color metal(?) is. both appear to have a pretty glitteryness to them though. Want help making up a story about how hard it was to make and just how magical it is? Thanks Dale, you save me from buying a $24.99 damascus knife, I won't be tempted now. Any other unbelievable bad products or ads you've seen or been sucked into buying? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
